I stare outside into the night sky through my window. It's half open, or half closed. Can never decide. But that's not important right now. Usually this wouldn't be a bad thing, but it's 3am and I can't sleep.
I tried comfy clothes. A light noise machine. Warm milk like in cartoons because I'm that desperate but I still can't sleep. It's always been because of stress, but lately it's been just random thoughts that keep me up.
Cars go by, air vents rumble, a little hangout happens a few houses down. As usual, it actually helps me sleep most nights. But when it's quiet, too quiet, you start to get anxious. It's unsettling. Nerve wracking.
But then I remember Jared. Then I also remember how much he hates being woken up. It kind of sucks when the only thing that helps you sleep, is already asleep. Probably. He goes to bed a bit earlier now because of his new computer class thing, I don't understand it but it makes him happy. Which not much does anymore, so I'd hate to ruin that for him.
That's what friends do, and we've been friends for years. We totally ditched the whole 'family friends' thing, like either of us wanted that to stick around. It's so tempting tho, to just call him and hear his slightly annoyed groggy voice when he wakes up. It's kind of funny... and cute.
Jared and I never really hangout after school, so I've never seen what his favorite sleeping position is or what his morning hair looks like. I bet it looks peaceful, and sticking out in all the right places to add just a pinch of a sloppy look to make his features stick out.
But his morning voice, which I've only heard once, is... just... god it's, it makes you want to fall back asleep with him and get cozy under all the blankets. But he'd never let me anywhere near his bed, not in a sexual way, just in a "hey want to chill out" kind of way. We don't do that like most friends would, but then again when we talk, like actually talk, it's so meaningful.
We tell each other everything. Past memories and almost forgotten secrets. It's truly a magnificent time, just two friends really bonding. I care about him a lot, so he can trust me with anything he's comfortable with telling. And when he doesn't, I get it. Sometimes life is full of mysteries, but we help each other out, one step at a time.
I finally got the courage to call him. I know he might hate me but, I just really want to hear his voice. Whether or not this call means anything to him, it does to me.
Of course it takes a couple rings, he's a slightly heavy sleeper and not a morning person. But then he actually picks up.
"Hey *yawn* Hansen. What's up?"
"Hi, um sorry to wake you up..."
"Don't worry about it, something wrong?"
"Oh um, no not really, it's just kind of stupid. I shouldn't have called, you can go back to bed."
"No no no, I'm already up. What do you need?"
"I uh, I can't sleep, if you couldn't tell... heh..."
"Yeah I know, it's not everyday that you get a call at 3am."
"Sorry about that..."
"Hey, we're friends. It's my job to be there for you... although 3am isn't exactly the best time... haha."
I could hear his tired laugh, it just... he means so much to me. "Hey uh, Jared?"
"Mhm?"
"I know you're really tired and you just woke up, and you really don't have to but I was just wondering. If you say no it's completely fine, I understand-"
"What is it bud?"
"Well uhm, do you... do you think you could um come over?"
"..."
"I know it's stupid, I mean who would want to go somewhere when they just wo-"
"Don't worry Ev, I'll be right over."
"Wait, really?"
"Yeah. Only because your bed is comfier." Then he does his little tired laugh again.
"Right..."
"I'm just messing around. I just woke up so you can't blame me."
"Heh... okay," a few moments of slight shuffles on the other side of the phone, probably him just getting ready, "...thank you."
"I wouldn't miss it buddy."
Since I took a pretty long break, I have so many cute ideas and I just love writing them. It's so fun and I don't care if it's weird, fight me. But I just came up with this one since I actually started thing at 3am like an hour ago so... I can't sleep either :P . But honestly, it's the cutest thing ever when someone will wake up and get out of bed for you just because you can't sleep. That has so much love behind it, it's so meaningful.
Anyway, I though it was cute and I can't sleep. Hope you liked it ^_^
P.S - I will be continuing "Killer Love", a new part will be posted soon. Have a good day/night 💜🐈💜
I just realized the last one shot would work perfectly if I posted it after this one, it like continues the story. But it's too late now, oh well :P
